Klez is great for causing doubt. What it does is harvest the infected
machines address book for a list of people to send it to. It also picks
a name at random from that address book to use as the sender's email
address. So, while the message looks like it came from paul, it didn't.
But, as the person who IS infected had both MUGLO and Paul's email
addresses in their address book, there is a *very* good chance that the
person is a member of MUGLO.
